Greenland PM Rejects Trump Remarks, Says Island Is Not 'Some Piece of Ice'

Jens-Frederik Nielsen said Greenland’s 57,000 residents are proud citizens and urged NATO allies to uphold international law amid Trump’s renewed pressure.

  • On Wednesday, President Donald Trump met NATO chief Mark Rutte in Washington following a two-week US-Iran ceasefire agreement that reopened the Strait of Hormuz to international shipping.
  • Frustration mounted as Trump vented that NATO allies failed to support his Iran war efforts while he reiterates his push to annex Greenland from Denmark, a fellow NATO member.
  • Spokeswoman Caroline Leavitt claimed NATO members 'turned their backs on the American people,' while Trump called Greenland a 'BIG, POORLY RUN, PIECE OF ICE' on social media.
  • On Thursday, Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen pushed back, stating 'We are not some piece of ice. We are a proud population of 57,000 people' working as global citizens.
  • Rutte remains in Washington through Sunday to attend the Bilderberg Club meeting, an elite group created in 1954 to foster transatlantic dialogue amid alliance tensions.
